ORIGINAL STORY (Dec. 2):
Diddy is reportedly being accused in a new lawsuit of hanging a woman over a balcony for turning down his advances.
Diddy Faces New Lawsuit
On Nov. 30, TMZ broke the news that the embattled music mogul is facing yet another lawsuit. This time, Puff is being sued by a woman named Bryana “Bana” Bongolan who filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court last week. The suit claims Bongolan was staying at Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s apartment in 2016 when Diddy came over one night and began groping her. When she turned down his advances, Bongolan claims the Bad Boy Entertainment founder held her over a 17th-floor balcony.
He eventually pulled her back, the suit claims, only to slam her into some patio furniture. She is suing Diddy for sexual battery, false imprisonment and other claims.
Cassie mentioned this incident in the lawsuit she filed against Diddy last November. There were rumors that Wale was the person Diddy held over the balcony. However, he denied the speculation.
In a statement to TMZ, Puff’s team calls the allegations false. “Mr. Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless,” the statement reads. “He has unwavering faith in the facts and in the fairness of the judicial process. In court, the truth will come to light, demonstrating that the claims against Mr. Combs are without merit.”
